Clastic, organic, or chemical? Clastic What minerals are found in it? Mud and clay minerals. Grain size: fine Grain shape: Angular Uniform or non-uniform: Non-uniform What if any fossils does it contain: Animal tracks and rain droplet craters. What are some uses? Paints, plastics, replacement clay, and roofing. Where does it form? 70% of shale is formed and found in the rocks crust. How does it form? Is formed by the silt and deposition of fine clay minerals, clay being one of the most common rocks sediments.
